It’s the Semifinals!  It’s the first time that I feel like anything can happen.  Will the right people dance their way into the finals?  Will everyone step up to the challenge? The judges have complete control over one of the dances and a couple are even incorporated into the performances. Here’s the breakdown of each couple:

First Dance

Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy

Dance: Viennese Waltz
Phone Number 855-234-5610

A Fifty Shades of Gray inspired dance, it was better than the movie. It was a beautiful dance. She’s in it to win it! I also love how her family has been so supportive of her.

Score: Carrie Ann-10, Len-9, Julianne-9, Bruno-10; Total:  38

Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess

Dance:  Viennese Waltz
Phone number 855-234-5605

It was nice. I think Sharna is an amazing choreographer and what she has done with Noah is something else. Should he move to the finals? I don’t think so but good job with how far he has come.

But the big moment of the night: Noah proposes to his girlfriend and gets everyone to cry!

Score: Carrie Ann-9, Len-9, Julianne-9, Bruno-9; Total:  36

Riker Lynch and Allison Holker

Dance:  Contemporary
Phone Number: 855-234-5608

It’s not my favorite dance of Riker’s but it was nice. I think this guy is so talented. The judges loved it.

Score: Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10; Total:  40

Nastia Liukin and Sasha Farber in for Derek Hough

DANCING WITH THE STARS - "Episode 2009" - Four remaining couples advanced to the SEMI-FINALS on "Dancing with the Stars" this MONDAY, MAY 11 (8:00-10:01 p.m. ET). The competition was neck and neck as each couple fought to make it to the top 3 and dance in the finale. (ABC/Adam Taylor) NASTIA LIUKIN, SASHA FARBER

Dance:  Quickstep
Phone Number: 855-234-5604

The Quickstep is my least favorite dance and they did incredible. Nastia has had some obstacles to overcome this season, with a new partner and having a bit of a meltdown. Fantastic. She’s a pro.

Score: Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10; Total:  40

Second Dance: Judges’ Choice

Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy

Dance:  Contemporary
Judge: Bruno
Phone Number 855-234-5610

They took a risk and it was wonderful.

Score: Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Julianne-10; Total: 30

Total for both dances: 68

Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess

Dance:  Paso doble
Judge: Carrie Ann

Phone number 855-234-5605

I’m sure some are going to disagree with me and the guy did get engaged but I didn’t love the dance. The concept was interesting. Maybe it’s me. Again I think it is incredible what he has done but should he go to the finals over the other three couples?

Score: Len-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10; Total:  30

Total for both dances:  66

Dance: Argentine Tango
Judge: Julianne
Phone Number: 855-234-5608

Julianne actually not only helped them, she was part of the dance. I thought they did great and what I like about Riker is that he attacks every dance and knows how to put on a show.

Score: Carrie Ann-10, Len-10, Bruno-10; Total:  30

Total for both dances: 70

Nastia Liukin and Derek Hough

Dance: Viennese Waltz
Judge: Len
Phone Number: 855-234-5604

First of all this was a special dance and, of course, beautiful. Derek did the dance but at the end Len came in and finished the dance. It was nice to see him on the dance the floor. It made me cry because it was so emotional, which is what Nastia needed.

Score: Carrie Ann-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10; Total:  30

Total for both dances: 70

It’s time to find out who’s moving on to the finals. But before that happens…there’s talk about Noah’s big proposal and then the show focuses on Noah and Sharna’s night. Noah and Sharna are told they’re in jeopardy. Not a shock.

Then it’s Riker and Allison’s turn to see how they did the night before and if they’re safe or in jeopardy. Riker and Allison are safe.

Emma and Sasha are challenged to put together a dance through the ages in two minutes. It shows just how versatile these pros are.

The next couple that finds out whether they’re safe or in jeopardy are Nastia and Derek. First we see how they did the night before. Then Nastia and Derek are told they’re in jeopardy.

The pros talk about all the semifinalists and if they have a weakness. Val gets in a little dig saying that Nastia and Derek are so perfect that it almost makes them uninteresting. Ouch!

Rumer and Val find out their fate next. Will they be in jeopardy or safe? Rumer and Val are in jeopardy. That’s BS!

There were some other performances but, really, I just want to know who is advancing to the finals already! This is so stressful!!!

It comes down to three pairs: Noah and Sharna; Nastia and Derek; and Rumer and Val. The first couple that is safe Noah and Sharna. I don’t feel good about it. The two strongest competitors are in the bottom two. How does that happen?

So now it comes down to Nastia and Derek or Rumer and Val:

The couple that won’t be performing in the finals: Nastia and Derek. Rumer and Val are in the finals!

It’s a shame that Nastia and Derek won’t be in the finals because they should be. Guess that’s why they say anything can happen.

Who do you guys think will go home with the Mirror Ball Trophy? Riker/Allison, Noah/Sharna or Rumer/Val? Share your thoughts below.

Next week Dancing with the Stars airs Monday and Tuesday at 8/7c on ABC.
